Lies to the king (Obscured by the smashing pumpkins)

The king the king he awakes in spring   

to the tides too hear the birds sing   

the king the king he awakes in the spring   

to hear the words that the good people bring   

the king the king he awakes in the spring   

to all the joy that the spring air does bring   

the king the king he awakes in the spring   

and so does the warmth that the good king brings   

the king the king he awakes in the spring   

and we awake to the ways of the king   

the king the king he awakes in the spring   

and we awake to the question of the king   

the king the king he awakes in the spring   

death to the king the people will bring   

the king the king he awakes in the spring   

but what do the people need of the king   

of the king who awakes in the spring   

who sleeps all year ignoring the tears   

ignoring the suffering his absence brings   

the king the king who sleeps in the spring   

who resides in the minds of the peoples dreams   

the king   

my king
